Bracketology 2017 – January 21, 2017

Welcome to the 2017 installment of my bracketology series. As is tradition, I’m starting in late January after we’ve seen all of the non-conference and about one month of conference play. March Madness begins in about two months, meaning it’s time to look ahead to the most wonderful time of the year. The bracket will change a lot between then and now, but if the season were to end right now, here is what the tournament would look like (includes all games through Jan. 20, 2017):

Be on the look out for the start of my bubble watch series, where I go in-depth explaining where teams stand in relation to the cutline and what they need to do to end up on the right side of it. You can expect to see that start in a few weeks when we get closer to Selection Sunday and the bubble starts to thin.

Also be sure to check out The Bracket Project, which features The Left Bench’s bracketology along with countless others across the Internet to form the ultimate bracket study.
